Good Morning everyone!! It's a great day in the Lord and we are truly blessed in the Freeman family =0)
Bryan and I went to see Wendy at the hospital last night after work and it was such an amazing experience to get to see her really looking like Wendy again. It's been awhile since the last time I got to visit between helping with the kids and work, etc. She has made such remarkable progress. As you all know they removed the ventilator on Monday, and had her simply on an oxygen mask for half of the day on Tuesday. By Tuesday afternoon, they had removed the oxygen mask and simply had her on the oxygen canula at 4 liters. Well, when Bryan and I got to see her, they even turned her down to 3 liters... which is wonderful!!! We are hoping that Wendy will get to move to a step-down room today, but if not today, maybe tomorrow. If she gets to move to step-down, then Bryan, Cindy, and I will be brining all four little princesses to visit their mommy for the first time in 3 1/2 weeks in her new room!!!! The girls do not know this yet... shh!! It's a surprise! =0) If she doesn't step-down today, then you will get to see us at MidWeek Blend tonight at Family Life Fellowship.
Again, I just want to reiterate how remarkable it was to see the vast improvement in Wendy's condition. The swelling is gone! The vent is gone!! The even removed another one of her central lines yesterday afternoon. She was very alert the entire 2 hours we were there. Bryan talked her ear off, as we tried to give her as many updates on life as we could possibly remember. She was showing off for Bryan by really moving both hands and feet on command! He also worked on her a little more by asking her to bend her arms at the elbow.... She worked really hard and you could see the bicep muscle really working to move it, she was shakey but there was definite movement!! When we were talking about certain things, you could really see her trying to move her lips to join in on the conversation... no audible words yet, but if she just keeps getting stimulated and trying, it won't be long!
Eventually after her bed gave her the evening shake down.. lol..which I joked with her saying that she had her own roller coaster and that Taryn would be wanting to take a ride with her really soon.... I asked if she was getting tired. She shook her head yes... so we decided it was time to let our darling rest!
God is so good!!!! The miracle that lies before us is amazing. Remember that every ounce of progress that we see is a miracle, because in the beginning, man said that she wouldn't make it, and God has proven man wrong time and time again! So every day that she's alive and every ounce of progress is a miracle! =0) ... and people say God's not in the miracle business any more... what the heck do they know?
God Bless,
